This isn't a series on giving — it's a casting a vision for the mission. You're not preaching about the building. You're preaching about the heart behind it.Discover why people give to successful vision — they need to see what you're already doing, just at a larger scale. Learn how to cast concrete visual pictures instead of vague abstractions. And hear what it looks like when commitment day doesn't go as planned—and why that might be exactly what refines you as a leader.In this episode you're going to learn how to preach through a capital campaign that casts vision, tells stories, and Christ mission above money.Mentioned Resources90-Day Tithe Challenge Training DayThe Preaching Lab CohortLead Pastor Leadership IntensiveRelated EpisodesPreaching Through A Vision SeriesPreaching Through MoneyPreaching Through Efficient Sermon Prep (2025)Preaching Through Efficient Sermon Prep (2024)EvergreenDiscover all of our free resources: https://faithfruit.us/podcast-linksAdditional questions about this topic?
